using a single user id for all users?

    So I have been digging around and have found plenty of folks wanting to block concurrent logins on a single user ID, but that is not what I am trying to do.

    I have a client who wants to give out a single user name and password to about 250 folks for a password required site. Commenting has been blocked for the site and the users would be going there solely for information. So in this sense a single user ID/pw would seem ideal.

    My question is, does WP have any issue with multiple users, possibly 100+ simultaneously initially (since they will all be receiving the information around the same time), simultaneously using the same login credentials? Just trying to cover all the bases and from what I have found it seems it would not be an issue, but better safe than sorry.

    Not that I know of, though I’m willing to bet no one’s stress tested that.

    Do they have to have LOGIN ids? You can password protect a site without needing to make an account.

    Good question. The client had requested a single login/pw, but I’ll verify on that front.

    If we do run with the login/pw model, I’ll post up the results (max concurrent logins, any issues experienced, etc.).
